It's interesting that the sequel will be released on 2018, just a year before the time the 1st one too place in, which was 2019.

My interest level in this just went down big time with the casting of Jared Leto. Ugh.

I wonder what wacky behind-the-scenes antics ol' Leto will be up to this time, in order to 'get in character'!

Leto: what if robots have feelings and stuff?

Director: oh my god.

He's probably stuffing extension cords into sheep as we speak.

He was probably "tricked" into this one too. But don't worry, his performance will disappear... like tears in rain.

just saw the original film for the first time this summer, I enjoyed it.

Don't know how I feel about a sequel

It's got a title.

So its Blade Runner 2049, I'm down with the title.

Here's the Plot Synopsis.

That trailer was early Christmas for me. Blade Runner is in my top five favorite films. I'm elated.

Looks interesting to me, can't wait to see a full trailer.

This film certainly looks like it has potential. Hope they don't screw it up.

Did nothing for me, can't really form any opinion on that little. Hope it's as aesthetically pleasing as the original, at least.

Blade Runner is not for everyone, the movie has this sort of film noir vibe, I'm sure it'll be the same for the sequel.

a bunch of official stills have been released, and one reveals Ana de Armas playing a character name Joi, Perhaps she's a replicant?

Going to venture a guess here... the (rogue) replicants started making replicants, and they're super hard to detect and have some secret (but probably benign) agenda. That's why it's not so simple anymore.

(kind of like what Winona Ryder's character in Alien Resurrection... "You're Second Gen?!?!)

I also wonder what happened to Rachael, since Sean Young is not in the sequel.

Given that she was a Replicant, perhaps she didn't live long enough, cause they can only live for 4 years, But if I remember, She was a newer model that can live longer.

It depends on which version of the original you were watching. In one she would've expired like any other replicant. In the terrible version with the voiceover they revealed that she was "special" and wouldn't expire like the others.
